Best Bet

Rabbitohs -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Rabbitohs were beaten by the Roosters last week, but the Alex Johnson celebrations didn’t help their cause. It was tough to restart after that historic moment, but they should rebound with a win over the Tigers.

It was hard to not be impressed by the Tigers’ opening win over the Cowboys, but the Cowboys couldn’t have played worse, and the Rabbitohs will be much harder to score against.

The Rabbitohs are 7-0 in their last seven home games against the Tigers, and although this game isn’t being played at their usual home venue, it shouldn’t make much of a difference. We expect the strength of the Rabbitohs forward pack to be too much for the visitors.

Take the –5.5 line before money comes for the Rabbitohs during the week.

Same Game Multi

Rabbitohs –5.5, Alex Johnson Anytime Try Scorer, Latrell Mitchell Anytime Try Scorer, Under 53.5 @ $9.25

Bet Now

After scoring two tries last week to set the NRL record, Johnson should be scoring again this week. Punters get only $1.41 for the Rabbitohs winger to cross the line, but those odds are good for building NRL same game multi odds.

Latrell Mitchell should fancy himself to score against the Tigers. He’s a power runner, and we believe the Tigers defence can be suspect on the wings. The $1.91 odds are too good to pass up.

Under 53.5 points is included as we predict the Tigers struggling to score. They put 44 points on the Cowboys last week, but they could come crashing down to earth against a good defensive outfit.

Best Value Bet

Alex Johnson First Try Scorer @ $6.00

Bet Now

One of the best first try scorer merchants is Johnson, and it’s not hard to see why. He has more tries than anyone else, and he could add to his tally on Saturday night.

Johnson is one of the best finishers in the NRL, and that’s often because the players on his inside have given him good service.

We have him finishing off a backline move for the opening four pointer.
